Elacoin dev continues to be incompetent, for the second time... Read on...

I love that dog.

Anyway, I encourage you all to compile a coin using that insanely high value and see what happens every time you hit a difficulty retarget.

I imagine a value bnProofOfWorkLimit == 0 is not good.

But it will be == 0. It's actually pretty amusing to read the code for >> :

Code:

00416     CBigNum& operator>>=(unsigned int shift)
00417     {
00418         // Note: BN_rshift segfaults on 64-bit if 2^shift is greater than the number
00419         //   if built on ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10, probably depends on version of OpenSSL
00420         CBigNum a = 1;
00421         a <<= shift;
00422         if (BN_cmp(&a, this) > 0)
00423         {
00424             *this = 0;
00425             return *this;
00426         }
00427 
00428         if (!BN_rshift(this, this, shift))
00429             throw bignum_error("CBigNum:operator>>= : BN_rshift failed");
00430         return *this;
00431     }

Core dumped and traced from one of the many elacoind segfaults I'm seeing.  It does indeed segfault in the overloaded >> operator for CBigNum, on Debian 6.0 (so not just old versions of Ubuntu).

I wonder to see such target in action  QuantumApocalypse going on

We're still waiting for Milkshake's BFL SC photo first.

Nice!, when have you received it?

Today. Nice surprise, didn't even pay for it!

You probably do realize this account is the troll account from another account here. I think it was created in honor of smoothie.

That is correct, but I do have a 30GH/s ASIC from BFL mining, and I received it as a freebie.

No kill-a-watt (they measure power consumption right?), I'll post pics later for the blog post when I've written it up and measured long term performance / stability.

I don't mind the power consumption, BFL is covering electricity bills too.

LMFAO

[Impaler]

Yes, and by right-shifting by 1000000 bits, he's setting the value of bnProofOfWorkLimit to 0.

Correct.

Anybody using >> 10000 just doesn't know what he's doing.

Also you can see from getinfo that this coin started at 0 difficulty.

Have too agree with ya their, that piece of code makes me cringe and I would not run ANYTHING that came from that programmers hand.
